Samurai in CC...

[Towa-Musa]

Pretty much the worst class ever. id much rather be playing as a warrior or gunbreaker.

[Ransu]

Skill issue.

[True-to-Caesar]

Skill issue.

Not really, outside the LB gimmick it’s pretty bland and weak compared to other melees. Mainly because all the « big » hitting abilities have longass casts… for a melee with no slows or snare and a single very short stun on CD.

Compare to monk, ninja or dragoon, and it is indeed not very good.

If you have to play a melee go with one of the three above or play Warrior/DRK. They have really good utility and if you play your cards well you can feel your contributions to the team.

[Bad_Luck]

Ok, then play warrior or gunbreaker.

GNB is really fun, you can catch a lot of people off guard with how bursty it can be ;0

Now I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with your message, but SAM, no snare? What the heck is hyosetsu if not a snare?

[Mistress_Irika]

SAM is decent. You shouldn't sleep on it.

However I will agree that you're better off picking a different melee, especially at a high level. Your dps will get shafted up there unintentionally, and unlike the other melees SAM's dps will be inconsistent. You can blame the button reduction for this.

They have an aoe root.

SAM isn't top tier, but played correctly they can solo kill faster than the other melee without the need of a LB combo with the exception of DRG.

[Nikoto]

I'm fine with SAM being bad in PvP seeing as the weeb jobs get the PVE bias.

Gunbreaker is based, btw. Really like playing it in pvp

[RileyNoxus]

This is gaslighting to keep people off sam
